With the [[Biotech DLC]], '''friendly mechanoids''' can be gestated. They are controlled by a '''Mechanitor''' (pronounced ''Mek-AN-it-TOR'')<ref>Tynan Sylvester Interview, Hot Potato 2022 [https://youtu.be/SaqYff8kEs8]</ref>, a pawn who has installed a [[mechlink]]. | With the [[Biotech DLC]], '''friendly mechanoids''' can be gestated.

Pawns that are [[psychically deaf]] can't become mechanitors, and pawns that can't do Smithing can't actually gestate/repair mechs. Also, pawns with [[trauma savant]] can't summon a [[diabolus]] from the [[comms console]]. You must have another mechanitor call it in, or wait for diaboli to spawn in high level mechanoid raids. | Pawns that are [[psychically deaf]] can't become mechanitors, and pawns that can't do Smithing can't actually gestate/repair mechs.

Rather than traditional work to make them, creating mechanoids requires the undertaking of some number of gestation cycles. A mechanitor must work at the gestator for {{Ticks|1800}}{{Check Tag|Modified?|Is this time value modified by any stat or skill?}} in order to initiate each cycle, but once initiated each cycle will run independently for its duration. Initiating a gestation cycle is considered [[Work#Smith|Smithing]] work. | Rather than traditional work to make them, creating mechanoids requires the undertaking of some number of gestation cycles.

When "working" (i.e. not [[draft]]ed), mechs are fully autonomous. You cannot order mechanoid work in any direct way, though you can indirectly control it through setting [[zone]]s. Specifically, mechs are put into '''control groups''', which can then be assigned to one of four orders: | When "working" (i.e. not [[draft]]ed), mechs are fully autonomous.

The market value of mechs, and of any weapons they carry, do count as wealth for [[raid points|raid point calculations]]. Mechs also contribute towards "[[raid points#Pawn points|pawn points]]" relative to their mech's combat power. The exact percentage depends on current [[wealth]] and can be viewed in the [[raid points#Pawn points|pawn points]] section. The combat power of all combat mechs can be viewed [[Mechanoid hive#Pawns|here]]. | The market value of mechs, and of any weapons they carry, do count as wealth for [[raid points|raid point calculations]].
